into the privacy of family skeleton, is
extremely popular among all classes.

warm i'll the hearts of most people, for
giveness and love. The hayward son,
the runaway boy, has returned; his
manner is nervous, his step is waver-
ing; just entering the threshold of the
door, and there are the old people.

gladness of seeing him again, gradually
working across their faces and leaving
not trace of bitterness behind. The

artist. Lauritz Hoist, a thoroughly
coast scene of England, with

ion picture, 1.-The Vegetable Dealer are
placed close together, and are especially
valuable for the study of faces eX-
pressed. In the first example the old
lady and man are capital and realistic:

A handsome bronze bust and three
pieces of Statuary work are beautiful
and unique. 1.-THE First Suit" a COM

1.-The Awaking of Spring." a nude
woman and the concave figure of a fe-
male and cherub, done on marble
slab, is about as rare and beautiful
thing as is in the whole gallery.
